Steve Wooddin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Wooddin (born January 16, 1955) was a New Zealand soccer player, who was a leading striker during the country's only successful campaign to qualify for the World Cup, in 1982. Born in England, his international career for his adopted country spanned 37 matches from 1980 until cut short by a recurring ankle injury in 1984. A noted left-footed attacking player, he had a deadly ability to find the net.
Wooddin was one of New Zealand's only two scorers in the 1982 World Cup Finals tournament in Spain (along with Steve Sumner), in New Zealand's 5-2 loss to Scotland.
